[Resolved] Telephone Service Outage – Monday, November 26, 2012

[Updated 11/26/12, 1:35 PM] Telephone service has been fully restored within the past half hour. We appreciate your patience as we worked through the outage. If you experience any further issues, please contact the Technology Service Desk at 253.879.8585 or servicedesk@pugetsound.edu.

University telephone service is currently unavailable. We are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience.

[Resolved] Logon Issue

A number of university systems were adversely impacted by a time synchronization issue. Correct time synchronization plays a key role in authentication across various systems and an incorrect date from a US Navy time source disrupted authentication. We have changed our servers to synchronize from another time source which has resolved the problem.

If you are still experiencing logon issues, please contact the Technology Service Desk at 253.879.8585 or servicedesk@pugetsound.edu.
